My friends & I have stayed at The Bobbin three times now & we love it there. The cottage is a great space, it’s clean & spacious. The garden is also lovely & the patio is a great place to enjoy the sunshine.My friend’s dogs also love it at this cottage as the garden is secure so they have some freedom to come in & out of the house as they please!The local pub does a great Sunday dinner & it’s not far to Matlock & Cromford.
